 Specialists
from the Spanish University of Alcala made a sensational discovery: it
can totally change our perception of human evolution.
Spanish
scientists found out that first hominid species could in fact express
themselves out loud rather audibly 500 000 years ago. Earlier, it was
assumed that people first learned to talk with each other only 160 000
years ago.
The
new data was received after a thorough examination of five ancient
skulls. Apparently, speech apparatus of those early hominids had been
developed well enough to enable oral communication.
It is
a known fact that development of one's speech apparatus is directly
connected to one's intellect. Therefore, our ancestors turned out to be
quite advanced. Spanish scientists however still have loads of research
work ahead of them before they could prove their hypothesis.
